What Are the Health Impacts of Anxiety and Stress? 

Chronic stress and anxiety can lead to a variety of negative health effects such as:

• Restlessness
• Muscle tension or pain
• Headaches
• Low mood
• Feeling overwhelmed
• Irritability
• Stomach upset
• Headaches
• Trouble sleeping
• Lack of motivation
• Trouble focusing

 

 

What Is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is a type of meditation focused on being aware of what you are feeling, experiencing, and sensing in the current moment.

Mindfulness involves guided imagery, breath work, and other ways to ease an overactive mind and relax the mind and body. It is an amazing way to naturally decrease stress, feel more relaxed, and feel connected with the world around you.

 

Roogenic’s Top Tips for Mindfulness

There are many easy ways to practice mindfulness exercises. Some of the best ways to practice mindfulness include:

• Live in the Moment – Rather than focusing on the past or thinking of what you have to do tomorrow, practice experiencing the current moment.

• Pay Attention – Many times, we are so focused on our ‘to-do’ lists and tasks that we forget to experience the moment. Practice using all of your senses to engage with your environment.

For instance, use all your senses and pay attention to what you hear, smell, and see next time you are on a walk in nature. Are the birds chirping? Is the wind blowing? Is it sunny or cloudy? How does the bark on the trees feel? Take time to enjoy the touch, sound, sight, and all the senses of the world around you.

• Practice Breathwork – When you experience negative or stressful thoughts, take a few moments to remove yourself from that mindset. Try sitting down, closing your eyes, and taking a series of deep, intentional breaths – in through your nose, out through your mouth, and focusing on filling your belly as you inhale. Notice how it feels as the breath moves in and out of your lungs. Practice deep breathing for one or two minutes before resuming your activities.

• Pay Attention to How You Treat Yourself – What is your self-talk like? Practice treating yourself and talking to yourself the way you would treat a loved one or friend.

• Get Outside – Practicing mindfulness exercises in nature is an especially effective way to naturally decrease stress and calm your body (try watching birds, watching clouds, reading outside, taking a walk, watching the sunrise or sunset, or listening to the waves crash on the beach as you work on your breathing exercises and being more present)

 

How Often To Practice Mindfulness

Mindfulness exercises can be practiced as often as needed. If possible, try to incorporate mindfulness into your daily routine.

You can make it a habit by setting aside time every day to focus on mindfulness exercises. Many people find starting the day with breath work or meditating is a great way to get ready for the day, set positive intentions, and get focused.

Or, you may enjoy practicing mindfulness as a calming bedtime routine. Take some time to discover what works best for you. With time, practicing mindfulness will become easier and more of a habit.
